Hot off the success of his new sci-fi thriller Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio opened up to Rolling Stone magazine in their upcoming issue about his personal anxieties, his wild youth and the premature deaths of his childhood peers – and Breaking Celebrity News has the inside scoop.
Underneath his confident movie star exterior, DiCaprio admits that he stresses just as much as the rest of us. “"My stomach churns over really stupid stuff," says Leo, currently playing a skilled thief who steals secrets from deep inside people’s subconscious while they are sleep.
"Things that shouldn't make you anxious whatsoever. It's crazy how your mind will become this database to make you worry about things that are so arbitrary…I'll just be sitting there, totally anxious about something ridiculous."

The 35-year-old actor, who was catapulted to fame in 1997’s record-breaking hit Titanic, admits that he “got to be wild and nuts” for a couple of years following its phenomenal success.
“I didn't suffer as much as people do now, where they have to play it so safe that they ruin their credibility. I didn't care what anyone thought...It was also about avoiding the tornado of chaos, of potential downfall,” he told the magazine in the exclusive interview.
While he enjoyed the Hollywood lifestyle and club scene, Leo says avoided the “tornado of chaos, of potential pitfalls,” unlike some of his acting peers.
